Indonesia Pushes for Energy Diversification

Indonesia has been encouraged to expand its energy sources to enhance energy security. This recommendation was highlighted by the National Energy Council (DEN) member Surono during a session on the National Energy Policy at the University of Lampung in Bandar Lampung on November 6, 2026.

Surono emphasized that overreliance on a single energy source introduces significant systemic risks. He pointed out that diversification is essential for achieving energy security, as it helps reduce the risks linked to dependence on any one source.

As part of its long-term decarbonization strategy, Indonesia aims to raise the proportion of new and renewable energy (NRE) in its energy mix to between 70 and 72 percent by 2060. This includes utilizing solar, hydropower, bioenergy, geothermal, nuclear, tidal, and ocean current resources.
